The idea of the activity was having a group of two, each group given words associated with symptoms of either depression and anxiety. And they had to place the word with blue tack on a small mannequin (big mannequin for actual lesson) of where the symptom would develop or found wether it would be the head, chest, arms, legs or hands.
Trouble concentrating
Fatigue
Loss of interest
Overeating or appetite loss
Headaches
Pessimism
Sleep problems
Numbness and tingling
Shortness of breath
Heart palpitations
Dry mouth
Nausea
Tense muscles
Dizziness
The mannequin experiment was a better result compared to the anagram activity because it was better in terms preparation and created more conversation however it still convey a depressing vibe. The feedback we got from the experiment from our peers was that the activity was fun but was conveying more of a therapeutic feel then for entertainment purpose like a game.
